23. Welcome to DU... but.... Johnson Co? .... first off, it is in Kansas
and secondly, the people who have fled there are resonsible for a lot of the ills the city faces.

Boy... Lake Delton is on there? I can't even remember where that city is in Wisconsin. I think it is in Green Lake county.

12. ..& Milwaulkee and Cincinnati?
If you take Chicago off the list, I think Milwaulkee has a shot at the top three.

9. i actually kind of like Marquette.
I voted for Chicago of course (is there any contest?), but Marquette sort of had this gritty/frontier quality to it.

10. Minne!
Only city where I ever went to a concert for a major performing artist, and got invited (the whole venue did) to an aftershow about an hour's drive away, at this guy's own recording studio.
